forth in this Preliminary Rate Resolution.
SECTION 5. LEGISLATIVE DETERMINATIONS OF SPECIAL BENEFIT AND
FAIR APPORTIONMENT.
It is hereby ascertained and declared that the Fire Rescue Assessed Costs provide a
special benefit to the Assessed Property based upon the following legislative
determinations and based upon that certain report entitled "City of Boynton Beach Fire
Assessment Memorandum," May 2008, prepared by Government Services Group, Inc.,
which is hereby incorporated herein by reference. Each year since then, the City has
engaged Government Services Group to provide assistance to the City in implementing the
annual Fire Rescue Assessments, including review of rates and budgets, to maintain
consistency with the methodology used by the City and confirmed in Desiderio Coif v.
City of Boynton Beach 39 So.- 487 (Fla. 4"' DCA 2010). There has been no change in
law since the Desiderio decision affecting the City's methodology.
GENERAL
(A) Upon the adoption of this Preliminary Rate Resolution determining the Fire
Rescue Assessed Costs and identifying the Assessed Property to be included in the
Assessment Roll, the legislative determinations of special benefit ascertained and declared
in Section 1.04 of the Ordinance are hereby ratified and confirmed.
(B) It is fair and reasonable to use the Improvement Codes and the DOR Codes
of the Cost Apportionment and the Parcel Apportionment because: (1) the Tax Roll
database employing the use of such property use codes is the most comprehensive,
accurate, and reliable information readily available to determine the property use and
Building Area for improved property within the City, and .(2) the Tax Roll database within

such property use codes is maintained by the Property Appraiser and is thus consistent
with parcel designations on the Tax Roll which compatibility permits the development of
an Assessment Roll in conformity with the requirements of the Uniform Method of
Collection.
(C) The data available in the Improvement Codes is more useful and accurate to
determine Building Area than relying exclusively upon the data maintained in the DOR
Code alone because (1) the data maintained in the Improvement Codes reveals the
existence of a Building with a different use than the use described on the DOR Code, (2)
the Improvement Codes represent records maintained by the Property Appraiser with the
most information relative to Building Area regardless of property use and (3) the City
conducted field work to ascertain Building use when sufficient information was not
available.
COST APPORTIONMENT
(D) It is fair and reasonable and consistent with the decision from the Florida
Supreme Court in the case of City of North Lauderdale v. SMM Properties, Inc., 825 So.
2d 343 (Fla. 2002), to exclude from the Fire Rescue Assessed Cost amounts determined to
constitute the Emergency Medical Services Cost.
(E) Apportioning the Fire Rescue Assessed Cost among classifications of
improved property based upon historical demand for fire rescue services, but not
Emergency Medical Services, is fair and reasonable and proportional to the special benefit
received.
(F) The Fire Rescue Incident Reports are the most reliable data available to
determine the potential demand for fire rescue services from property use and to determine
the benefit to property use resulting from the availability of fire rescue services to protect

and serve Buildings located within the Assessed Property and their intended occupants.
There exist sufficient Fire Rescue Incident Reports that document the historical demand for
fire rescue services from Assessed Property within the Property Use Categories. The
Demand Percentage that has been determined for each Property Use Category by an
examination of such Fire Rescue Incident Reports is consistent with the experience of the
City. Therefore, the use of Demand Percentages that were determined by an examination
of Fire Rescue Incident Reports is a fair and reasonable method to apportion the Fire
Rescue Assessed Costs among the Property Use Categories.
(G) The historical demand for fire rescue service availability for multi - family
and single - family Residential Property is substantially similar and any difference in the
percentage of documented fire rescue calls to such specific property uses is statistically
insignificant.
(H) As a result of the urbanized character of the City, the suppression of fire on
vacant property primarily benefits the Buildings within the adjacent improved property by
the containment of the spread of fire rather than the preservation of the vacant property.
Therefore, it is fair and reasonable not to apportion any of the Fire Rescue Assessed Costs
to vacant property and the Fire Rescue Incident Reports documenting historical fire
services provided to vacant property were thus omitted from the Demand Percentage
calculation.
(I) The level of services required to meet anticipated demand for the rescue
services and the
corresponding annual fire
rescue budget required
to fund fire rescue
services provided
to non - specific property
uses would be required
notwithstanding the
occurrence of any incidents from such non - specific property uses. Therefore, it is fair and

242

reasonable to omit from the Demand Percentage calculation the Fire Rescue Incident
Reports documenting fire rescue services provided to non - specific property uses.
RESIDENTIAL PARCEL APPORTIONMENT
(J) Neither the size nor the value of Residential Property determines the scope
of the required fire rescue response. The potential demand for fire rescue services is driven
by the existence of a Dwelling Unit and the anticipated average occupant population.
(K) Apportioning the Fire Rescue Assessed Cost for fire rescue services
attributable to Residential Property on a per Dwelling Unit basis is required to avoid cost
inefficiency and unnecessary administration and is a fair and reasonable method of Parcel
Apportionment based upon historical call data.
(L) The City Commission hereby finds that as a consequence of the transient
use and potential extraordinary vacancies within Mobile Home Park Property, which
vacancies result in the absence of structures on unoccupied spaces, as compared to other
Residential Property, and within Recreational Vehicle Park Property as compared to other
Commercial Property, as well as the lack of demand for fire rescue services for unoccupied
spaces which lack structures; it is fair and reasonable to provide for an extraordinary
vacancy adjustment procedure for Mobile Home Park Property and Recreational Vehicle
Park Property, using the procedures established in Resolution R11 -089.
NON - RESIDENTIAL PARCEL APPORTIONMENT
(M) The separation of improved Non - Residential Property by actual square
footage is fair and reasonable for the purpose of Parcel Apportionment because the demand
for fire rescue service is determined and measured by the actual square footage of
structures and improvements within benefited parcels.

(N) The demand for the availability of fire rescue services diminishes at the
outer limit of Building size because a fire occurring in a structure greater than a certain size
is not capable of being suppressed under expected conditions and given the availability of
fire control combat personnel, equipment and apparatus within the City. In such
circumstances, the fire control activities of the City are directed to avoid the spread of the
fire event to adjacent Buildings. Therefore, it is fair and reasonable to place a cap on the
Building Area classification of benefited parcels within Non - Residential Property based on
the fire control personnel, equipment, and apparatus available within the City.
(0) Institutional Property whose use is exempt from the valorem taxation under
Florida law provides facilities and uses to the ownership, occupants, membership as well
as the public in general that otherwise might be requested or required to be provided by the
City and such property uses serve a legitimate public purpose and provide a public benefit.
Therefore, it is fair and reasonable not to impose Fire Rescue Assessments upon such
parcels of Institutional Property whose building use is wholly exempt from ad valorem
taxation under Florida law. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 2.14 of the Ordinance, no
Fire Rescue Assessment shall be imposed upon a parcel of Institutional Property whose use
is wholly exempt from the ad valorem taxation under Florida law.
(P) Except as provided in subsection (Q) below, Government Property provides
facilities and uses to the community, local constituents and the public in general that serves
a legitimate public purpose and provides a public benefit. Therefore, it is fair and
reasonable not to impose Fire Rescue Assessments upon such parcels of Government
Property pursuant to Section 2.14 of the Ordinance.
(Q) Government Property that is owned by federal government mortgage
entities, such as the Fannie Mae, Freddie Mae, VA and HUD, due to foreclosures are

neither serving a governmental purpose nor providing a public benefit but are instead being
held by these federal government mortgage entities in a proprietary capacity. Accordingly,
these properties shall not be exempted from the Fire Rescue Assessment.
(R) Nursing Home Property provides facilities for the care of elderly and
disabled residents of the City. Such facilities provide a benefit to the public by offering
care and assistance to vulnerable members of the community. Therefore, it is fair and
reasonable to impose a Fire Rescue Assessment against Nursing Home Property based on
the Fire Rescue Assessment rate established for Institutional Property notwithstanding the
Demand Percentage determined for Nursing Home Property to avoid increasing the cost of
care for the elderly and disabled.
SECTION 6. COST APPORTIONMENT METHODOLOGY.
(A) Utilizing data from the Fire Rescue Incident Reports related to the type of
calls and physical location of each call, the City assigned fire rescue incidents located
within the City to Property Use Categories.
(B) Based upon such assignment of Fire Rescue Incident Reports to Property
Use Categories, the number of Fire Rescue Incident Reports filed within a sampling period
was determined for each Property Use Category. A Demand Percentage was then
determined for each Property Use Category by calculating the percentage that Fire Rescue
Incident Reports allocated to each Property Use Category bear to the total number of Fire
Rescue Incident Reports documented for all Property Use Categories within the sampling
period.
(C) Appendix C contains a designation of Code Descriptions by Property Use
Category with the Improvement Codes. Such correlation between Code Descriptions by
Property Use Category'on the Fire Rescue Incident Reports and the Improvement Codes is

necessary to allocate the historical demand for fire rescue services, as reflected by the Fire
Rescue Incident Reports for Tax Parcels, to the Tax Roll within the Property Use
Categories.
(D) The Demand Percentage for each Property Use Category was then applied
to the Fire Rescue Assessed Costs and the resulting product as the cost allocation of that
portion of the Fire Rescue Assessed Costs allocated to each individual Property Use
Category.
SECTION 7. PARCEL APPORTIONMENT METHODOLOGY.
(A) The apportionment among Tax Parcels of that portion of the Fire Rescue
Assessed Costs allocated to each Property Use Category under the Cost Apportionment
shall be consistent with the Parcel Apportionment methodology described and determined
in Appendix F, which Parcel Apportionment methodology is hereby approved, adopted,
and incorporated into this Preliminary Rate Resolution by reference.
(B) It is hereby acknowledged that the Parcel Apportionment methodology
described and determined in Appendix F is to be applied in the calculation of the estimated
Fire Rescue Assessment rates established in Section 8 of this Preliminary Rate Resolution.
SECTION 8. DETERMINATION OF FIRE RESCUE ASSESSED COSTS;
ESTABLISHMENT OF PRELIMINARY FIRE RESCUE
ASSESSMENTS.
(A) The Fire Rescue Assessed Costs to be assessed and apportioned among
benefited parcels pursuant to the Cost Apportionment and the Parcel Apportionment for
the Fiscal Year commencing October 1, 2016, is the amount determined in the Estimated
Fire Rescue Assessment Rate Schedule, which is attached hereto as Appendix E and
incorporated herein by reference. The approval of the Estimated Fire Rescue Assessment
Rate Schedule by the adoption of this Preliminary Rate Resolution determines the amount

of the Fire Rescue Assessed Cost. The remainder of such Fiscal Year budget for fire
rescue services, facilities, and programs shall be funded from legally available City
revenue other than Fire Rescue Assessment proceeds.
(B) The estimated Fire Rescue Assessments specified in the Estimated Fire
Rescue Assessment Rate Schedule are hereby established to fund the specified Fire Rescue
Assessed Costs determined to be assessed in the Fiscal Year commencing October 1, 2016.
No portion of such Fire Rescue Assessed Cost is attributable to impact fee revenue that
funds capital improvements necessitated by new growth or development. Further, no
portion of such Fire Rescue Assessed Costs is attributable to the Emergency Medical
Services Cost.
(C) The estimated Fire Rescue Assessments established in this Preliminary Rate
Resolution shall be the estimated assessment rates applied by the City Manager in the
preparation of the preliminary Assessment roll for the Fiscal Year commencing October 1,
2016, as provided in Section 9 of this Preliminary Rate Resolution.
SECTION 9. ASSESSMENT ROLL.
(A) The City Manager is hereby directed to prepare, or cause to be prepared, a
preliminary Assessment Roll for the Fiscal Year commencing October 1, 2016, in the
manner provided in the Ordinance. The Assessment Roll shall include all Tax Parcels
within the Property Use Categories. The City Manager shall apportion the estimated Fire
Rescue Assessed Cost to be recovered through Fire Rescue Assessments in the manner set
forth in this Preliminary Rate Resolution.
(B) A copy of this Preliminary Rate Resolution, documentation related to the
estimated amount of the Fire Rescue Assessed Cost to be recovered through the imposition
of Fire Rescue Assessments, and the preliminary Assessment Roll shall be maintained on

SECTION E2. ESTIMATED FIRE RESCUE ASSESSMENTS.
(A) The estimated Fire Rescue Assessments to be assessed and apportioned among

E -2
(00140461.1 306 - 9001821)
APPENDIX F
PARCEL APPORTIONMENT METHODOLOGY
The Cost Apportionment to each Property Use Category and to Mixed Use
Property shall be apportioned among the Tax Parcels within each Property Use Category
and to Mixed Use Property Tax Parcels as follows:
SECTION F -1 RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY. The Fire Rescue
Assessment for each Tax Parcel of Residential Property shall be computed by multiplying
the Demand Percentage attributable to the Residential Property Use Category by the Fire
Rescue Assessed Costs, dividing such product by the total number of Dwelling Units
shown on the Tax Roll within the City for the Residential Property Use Category, and then
multiplying such quotient by the number of Dwelling Units located on such Tax Parcel.
SECTION F -2. NON - RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY. The Fire Rescue
Assessments for each Building of Non - Residential Property (except Nursing Horne
Property) shall be computed as follows:
(A) Respectively, multiply the Fire Rescue Assessed Cost by the Demand
Percentage attributable to each of the Non - Residential Property Use Categories. The
resulting dollar amounts reflect the portions of the City's fire rescue budget to be
respectively funded from Fire Rescue Assessment revenue derived from each of the Non-
Residential Property Use Categories.
(B) Separate each building in each of the Non - Residential Property Use
Categories into the appropriate Non - Residential Property Use Category for that Building.
(C) For each Non - Residential Property Use Category, add the Building square
F -1
(00140461.1 306- 9001821)
footage of all the Buildings in each Non - Residential Property Use Category. All Buildings
with a number of square feet exceeding 77,001 will be included in the calculation at 77,001
square feet. This sum reflects an aggregate square footage area for each Non - Residential
Property Use Category to be used by the City in the computation of Fire Rescue
Assessments.
(D) Divide the product of subsection (A) of this Section relative to each of the
Non - Residential Property Use Categories by the sum of the square foot allocations for each
Non - Residential Property Use Category described in subsection (C) of this Section. The
resulting quotient expresses a dollar amount per square foot of improved area ( "the square
foot rate ") to be used in computing Fire Rescue Assessments on each of the respective
Non - Residential Property Use Categories.
(E) For each of the Non - Residential Property Use Categories, other than
Nursing Home Property, multiply the applicable square foot rate calculated under
subsection (D) of this Section by the number of square feet, up to 77,001 square feet, for
each Building in the Non - Residential Property Use Categories. The resulting product for
each Building expresses the amount of Fire Rescue Assessments to be imposed on each
Building of Non - Residential Property.
SECTION F -3. NURSING HOME PROPERTY. Notwithstanding the
procedure in Section F -2 for Non - Residential Property, the Fire Rescue Assessment for
each Building of Nursing Home Property shall be computed as follows:
(A) For Nursing Home Property, multiply the square foot rate determined in
subsection F -2 of this Section for Institutional Property by the number of square feet, up to
F -2
(00 140461 1 306 - 90018 21 (
77,001 square feet, for each Building of Nursing Home Property. Such amount shall be
the amount of the Fire Rescue Assessments imposed upon each Building of Nursing Home
Property.
(B) Multiply the amount directed to be imposed as Fire Rescue Assessments on
Nursing Home Property in subsection (A) of this Section by the total square footage of
Buildings related to Nursing Home Property as provided in subsection F -2(C). The
resulting product represents the aggregate revenue to be derived from Fire Rescue
Assessments imposed upon Nursing Home Property.
(C) The remaining portion of the City's fire rescue budget otherwise
attributable to Nursing Home Property, and not funded through Fire Rescue Assessments
imposed upon Nursing Home Property, shall be funded from legally available City revenue
other than Fire Rescue Assessment proceeds.
SECTION F -4. MIXED USE PROPERTY. The Fire Rescue
Assessments for each Tax Parcel classified in two or more Property Use Categories shall
be the sum of the Fire Rescue Assessments computed for each Property Use Category.
